guy here trying to diet- why do people snicker when I ask stores or restaurants if they have nutritional charts for drink/food items or if I ask how many ounces or millilitres is this beverage? it's as if dieting is perceived as a "feminine" thing, when really it's not

i also understand there are cultural notions, where men have to "eat more" than women to be considered macho/masculine

but the whole concept is silly

also, i hate it when people are food pushers, just because i'm a guy and "guys need to eat more"

achieving a caloric deficit is the most important factor that leads to weight loss, and dieting is the best way to reach that caloric deficit
any insights or perspectives ? feel free to share

thanks for reading this post and giving your input, appreciate it ;]
I really do think this is a legitimate question about social norms, perception, and dieting
